v1.c14.260

**Gandhavamsa.**—A late Pāli work written in Burma. It relates, in brief, the history of the Pāli Canon and gives accounts of post-canonical Pāli books written in Burma and Ceylon. The colophon states that the work was composed by a forest-dwelling Elder named **Nandapañña**. At the end of each chapter the work is referred to as **Cullagandhavamsa** ; perhaps what we have now is an abridged edition of a larger work.¹
